Queen Mary
- Queen Mary: Perhaps you should take a leaf out of your late brother's book. He was frugal, you know.
- David, Duke of Windsor: He was born frugal. In every department.
- Queen Mary: And that frugality earned him great favour. And he passed it on to the women in his family.
- Queen Mary: [shortly before Edward addresses the British people via radio] I've come to make a final representation. And to beseech you not to do this.
- David, Duke of Windsor: I wish to address my people. It's my right.
- Queen Mary: You have forfeited that right.
- David, Duke of Windsor: There are things I wish to say.
- Queen Mary: In which capacity? You're no longer their king.
- David, Duke of Windsor: As a private individual.
- Queen Mary: Oh, no one wants to hear from a private individual.
- David, Duke of Windsor: Well, I beg to differ. The newspapers are for me.
- Queen Mary: The best thing for everyone would be if you said your goodbyes quietly, privately, and disappeared into the night.
- David, Duke of Windsor: Preferably never to return.
- Queen Mary: I didn't say that.
- David, Duke of Windsor: But you thought it. Admit it.
